Teen thrown from plane before an unfortunate crash. The plane was going down with six family members aboard, but only five members were found until later. Somehow the boy was ejected from the plane.
Rescuers found the 13-year-old boy about a mile away from the crash. Something happened to the wing of the plane. The wing was ripped off the craft. How do they know he was thrown from the plane? Did someone witness the event, or was this a desperate attempt to save the boy from the crash?
Anyway one looks at this tragic event, the family of six is dead, and rescuers can have some closure now that the teen's body has been located.

Latino Children: A Majority Are U.S.-Born Offspring of Immigrants
Hispanics now make up 22% of all children under the age of 18 in the United States — up from 9% in 1980 — and as their numbers have grown, their demographic profile has changed.
Mexican Immigrants in the United States, 2008
A record 12.7 million Mexican immigrants lived in the United States in 2008, a 17-fold increase since 1970. More than half (55%) are unauthorized.
A Portrait of Unauthorized Immigrants in the United States
Unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. are more geographically dispersed than in the past and are more likely than either U.S.-born residents or legal immigrants to live in a household with a spouse and children. But the recent rapid growth in the undocumented immigrant labor force has come to a halt. The new report also includes population and labor force estimates for each state.
Latinos Account for Half of U.S. Population Growth Since 2000
A new Pew Hispanic Center report analyzes changes in Latino growth and settlement patterns over the past three decades. The report includes a series of interactive maps and data bases that provide demographic information about the Latino population in each of the nation's 50 states and 3,141 counties.
Undocumented Immigration Now Trails Legal Inflow, Reversing Decade-Long Trend
Estimates now show that the unauthorized immigrant population grew more slowly from 2005 to 2008 than it did earlier in the decade, although its size has increased by more than 40% since 2000, and now constitutes 4% of the total U.S. population.
Non-Citizen Immigrant Households Suffer Sharp Decline in Income, 2006-2007
The current economic slowdown has taken a far greater toll on households headed by non-citizens than it has on the U.S. population as a whole, according to a Pew Hispanic Center analysis of new Census data.
States Think Smaller, Slower On Immigration
Under pressure from business groups and budget stringency, states are no longer rushing to pass immigration control measures.
Immigration to Play Lead Role In Future U.S. Growth
If current trends continue, immigrants arriving from 2005 to 2050 and their descendants will account for 82% of the population growth in the United States during this period, according to new projections from the Pew Research Center.
Arizona's Population Growth Parallels America's
How will Arizona's new law penalizing businesses for hiring unauthorized immigrants affect its labor force? The Pew Hispanic Center provides up-to-date estimates of the state's demographics as well as two other fact sheets analyzing the characteristics of the overall Latino population in the U.S. and of foreign-born immigrants of all origins.
English Usage among Hispanics in the United States
A new analysis of six Pew Hispanic Center surveys finds a dramatic increase in English-language ability from one generation of Hispanics to the next.

I searched the forums for a bit looking for an answer to this problem with no luck. Hopefully someone here can help me out... I am currently working on a gauge that will allow the pilot to trim his/her aircraft to a desired AOA while the aircraft is in Powered Approach Mode. By using the elevator trim up and elevator trim down functions, the pilot actually sets the indicated AOA that he/she wants the aircraft to maintain during approach, and the aircraft's flight control system actually controls the elevator trim to maintain indicated AOA. The problem I am running into is that I can't seem to find a way to disconnect the elevator movement from what's indicated in the jet. I need the elevator trim indicator value to remain at what the pilot has set and not display the actual, real-time position of the trim. XML coding would be something similar to this: (A:AIRSPEED TRUE,knots) 250 < (A:TRAILING EDGE FLAPS LEFT ANGLE,Degrees) 40 > && (A:GEAR CENTER POSITION,Percent) 30 > && if{ (A:ELEVATOR TRIM POSITION, degrees) (A:INCIDENCE ALPHA,Degrees) / } (>L:AOA Selector, number) } els{ } (L:AOA Selector, number) 1 > (A:GEAR CENTER POSITION,Percent) 30 > && (A:INCIDENCE ALPHA,Degrees) 22 < && (A:AIRSPEED TRUE,knots) 250 < && (A:SIM ON GROUND, bool) ! && (A:AUTOPILOT MASTER, bool) ! && if{ (>K:ELEV_TRIM_UP) } els{ } (L:AOA Selector, number) 1 < (A:GEAR CENTER POSITION,Percent) 30 > && (A:INCIDENCE ALPHA,Degrees) 22 < && (A:AIRSPEED TRUE,knots) 250 < && (A:SIM ON GROUND, bool) ! && (A:AUTOPILOT MASTER, bool) ! && if{ (>K:ELEV_TRIM_DN) } els{ } The coding above assumes that the "ELEVATOR TRIM POSITION" would be the reinterpreted as the dialed or assigned AOA by the pilot (this number doesn't change unless done so by the pilot). From there, it gets compared to the actual (real-time) AOA of the aircraft. By dividing the Assigned AOA by the Actual AOA, you get a numerical value that is either greater than one (1) or less that one (1). This, in turn, determines whether the Flight Control System (FCS) should provide nose up trim or nose down trim in an attempt to keep the ratio 1/1. As of now, I can dial in the AOA that I want the FCS to maintain, but as soon as it is dialed in, the FCS changes the elevator trim state as defined in the XML coding, thereby changing the indicated value, at this point the trim is like "a dog chasing its tail". I hope I have explained my issue with sufficient details so that someone may be able to help. Thanks again.
Your trim indicator will need to use a custom L: variable for its display, not the real trim indicator variable. When the pilot changes his trim, he should be altering the value of the L: variable, not the real trim variable. Hope this helps,
AOA in steady flight is a function of airspeed interacting with the lift coefficient, wing area and aircraft weight. If you could set an AOA you would only have steady flight if the airspeed happened to be correct. If you wanted to have a flight control system that caused the aircraft to fly at constant AOA you would have to include a feedback that controlled the airspeed appropriately. Another way would be to set autothrottle to the correct speed for the desired AOA. The speed can be calculated as some base airspeed plus so many knots per pound of fuel. If you have performance data for the aircraft you can easily come up with the numbers. If not, you need to do a series of tests of AOA versus IAS in the landing configuration and do it at different weights. From the results you can do a linear interpolation and derive the base speed plus the knots per pound. For example, an A-7D will fly at the corrrect AOA on the approach if the IAS is 119 knots plus 1.3 knots per 1000 lbs of fuel, assuming no retained bombs or other heavy items. To sum up, when on a steady 1 g flight path. you can not adjust AOA, you can only adjust the airspeed that gives you the AOA you want. Roy
I would think that setting the AOA and maintaining that would change your airspeed? I.e. set more up trim and you will go slower. I am assuming no autothrottle/autospeed here. An example: let's say I was in level attitude and level flight. I then reset my AOA to 1 degree up. The trim system would set more up trim until my nose was pointed 1 degree up. I would start to climb until my speed slowed to the point that I was in equilibrium with that power setting. Whether I was level, climbing, or descending would depend on my throttle setting. Is this not correct?
Thanks for the quick reply gents. Most of my work is on the F/A-18. During carrier landings, maintaining the proper AOA (8.1 degrees in the F/A-18) is more important than a certain airspeed. This past weekend at Miramar, I had the fortune to sit and fly in an actual F/A-18 simulator used by the Marine Corps to train its aviators. While shooting a couple of approaches, I noticed that it was the AOA that the flight control system trimmed to. If you added a little bit of nose up trim, the AOA that you were trimming to would briefly display itself on the HUD. The opposite would happen with nose down trim. So as you rolled in on approach, you would trim up/down to 8.1 on the display and the jet would use pitch to maintain that AOA for you. If you pulled power, the FCS would start trimming the nose down in an effort to reestablish you on the set AOA, if you added power, the nose would rise. The end-state is that once the pilot has dialed in the correct AOA, the jet will automatically maintain it for him. The pilot mainly uses power to maintain proper glideslope, but doesn't have to provide manual pitch input to maintain proper AOA while making those power adjustments. Very little push/pull was needed during these approaches. -Break- As for making an L Var to separate the indicator and the actual trim position.... I've tried a few things with no luck. I'm still a little new at the whole XML gauge thing. A little help please Thanks again!
Tom, There is a lot of interaction here. However, AOA is an A:var. Ignoring simconnect, you can not set AOA. You can increase it by stick back pressure. If in your example you are in straight and level flight and you increase AOA, you increase lift and g force. With no other input than maintaining AOA with the stick, the airplane will pitch up and enter an increasing climb angle until it begins to slow down. At some point with constant AOA and reduced airspeed hence reduced lift you will enter a descent then speed up until you are back where you started from. You can use trim to maintain a specific AOA because trim is a substitute for stick pressure. However, my reading of the original post is that he wanted to be able to set AOA during a powered approach. I'm also assuming that the approach would be at a constant glide slope angle. To maintain that angle, the airplane velocity vector must be aligned with the glide slope. The velocity vector is below the airplane fuselage pitch angle by the AOA. Lets say the glide slope is 3 degrees and your current AOA is 5 degrees. You need a two degree nose up pitch angle to maintain the glide slope. You also have to be at a speed that provides the correct amount of lift to maintain the glide slope. If you slow down and maintain the 5 degrees AOA, you will have less lift than required and will sink below the glide slope. You could get back at the lower speed by increasing the pitch angle and AOA or you could speed up to regain the correct speed and AOA. An autothrottle set to the correct speed for the desired AOA can sort that out but the key is to know the AOA/speed relationship. If you have a read out of the flight parameters of an AI airplane on an approach you will see that they set the nose exactly 2 degrees up in pitch and then adjust throttle hence airspeed to give a 5 degree AOA, or thereabouts depending on how close they are to a 3 degree glide slope. This 5 degree AOA target and the lift characteristics are what determines an AI approach speed. My experience flying the F-4 on an approach was that you aimed the aircraft's flight path at the touchdown point with the stick and used power to adjust speed to get the desired AOA. Once the AOA was correct the glide slope was maintained by minor stick movements and compensatory throttle movements to maintain AOA until touchdown. In FS the exact same technique works for models where AOA is the prime reference for an approach. The point I'm making is that a specific AOA, for a given airplane weight and landing configuration is only achieved by flying at a specific airspeed. Roy
Jimi, The F-18 is a bit too new for me to know its systems, but I would hazard a guess that in approach/landingmode, the trim switch has a different function than in normal flight. I have flown the F-18 simulator, but only briefly at an air show. The main advantage of using AOA as a primary reference is that it sets you up for the best approach without regard to aircraft weight, configuration or speed. Your stall margin is correct at the correct AOA and that is all you need for a safe approach. No need to look at airspeed, just maintain AOA and glideslope. As you said, if you set 8.1 as the desired AOA the F-18 system will adjust pitch to maintain 8.1. If you are slow you will lose height so by increasing power you can gain height. To be on the correct glide slope you need to be at a speed where 8.1 AOA points the airplane at the touchdown point. However the system lets you do this without checking speed. I could do the same with the F-4 by using the stick to maintain AOA and using power to keep on the glide slope. The F-18 FCS takes over the stick function, but the power adjustments are the same. The net effect is the same, you approach at the correct speed, which is all-important for carrier landings. You could achieve the the desired effect with a standard FS autopilot, but you would have to dial in the corrrect airspeed. If you wanted to dial in AOA and have an autopilot that did what the F-18 one does, you are entering a whole new game. It is perfectly possible to have code that measures the error between the desired and actual AOA and moves the stick accordingly using PID algorithms. In principle it would be somewhat similar to an autopilot I coded for helos where the throttle/collective position is controlled to maintain altitude with respect to a desired altitude. Speed control is maintained by stick/cyclic adjustment including hovering according to a desired speed. This AP can hold height at 8 feet above the surface and at 135 kts or hover at any altitude. For your application you would have to swap the functions so that AOA control would be done by stick adjustments and height or glideslope deviation would be done with throttle adjustments. Bit complex, perfectly doable, but a lot of work. Jets that do not have AOA as a primary reference are flown using the stick for altitude control and the throttle for speed control. It is a lot easier and more accurate if you have an AOA display in view and much better if all you have to fly by is the glideslope. Roy
I think I've figured out the math. Just divide the desired AOA value with the actual AOA value. If the result is greater than 1 implement nose up trim to correct, if it's less that 1, implement nose down trim. The main problem I am having is getting the desired AOA to stay as set by using the trim keys to set. As soon as the FCS system that I've coded moves the trim, that initial value now gets changed to the actual trim state and now the logic starts chasing after that as it's new desired AOA, and the process keeps looping. I just need to find a way to allow for the trim indicator to ignore what the actual trim is doing...
Use a custom L:var for your desired AoA, then compare that with actual AoA. This way your target value remains constant... (L:TargetAoA,enum) BTW, you will want to use (A:INCIDENCE ALPHA,degrees) for the actual AoA For the Milviz T-38A I worked on, I had to interpolate (A:INCIDENCE ALPHA,degrees) to scale into the "unit system" this a/c uses: 0 to 1.2 "units"... The optimum landing attitude for the "green doughnut" is 0.6 "units" (~8º AoA) for the T-38A/C.
Bill (and me in my first post) is correct - you cannot use a single variable to control two different things! You must use custom L: variables to control the AOA and display the trim indication, and the normal FS variables to read/control the actual trim. Your trim indicator will use an L: variable for its display, so it won't move when your system changes the actual FS trim. I.e. do NOT use the FS trim variables in your trim indicator - use a custom L: variable!
Roger that. We (SLUDGE & I) are currently working on an L Var that will be displayed on the HUD indicating the AOA that the pilot has dialed in. I'm thinking it will basically by an event counter. It will start at a baseline number such as 5.0, and it will record every time the elevator trim up or elevator trim down functions (events) are activated. The code will increment 0.1 to the initial value every time the elevator trim up function is activated, and decrements 0.1 every time the elevator trim down function is activated. This way the pilot can manually select their desired AOA for the aircraft to maintain regardless of what particular buttons, keys, or axis being used. It will be that L Var that will be used as the baseline for the trim system to do its calculations and work off of. Does this make sense? Are we on the right track?
I would use a "desired AOA" variable (L: Desired_AOA, number). The pilot would directly increment and decrement this L: variable using the controls on his panel (i.e. each time he clicked the knob the Desired_AOA variable is incremented/decremented by a set amount). As an example, when the Desired_AOA variable is set at 5.0, then the gauge system would adjust the FS up/down trim (using the FS variables) until the actual AOA (A:INCIDENCE ALPHA,degrees) was 5.0 degrees. As the speed slowed down/sped up, it would constantly adjust the trim to maintain that 5 degree AOA. If the pilot then changed the Desired_AOA variable to 4.0, the gauge system would then readjust the trim so the FS AOA variable now maintained 4 degrees. Hope this helps,
Jimi, You got me interested! I modified code I had used for the helo autopilot I mentioned, had it adjust trim according to the AOA error and used it as a pop-up gauge for test purposes in my A-7D (current project). It holds the desired AOA very well and you can control altitude with small amounts of throttle inputs. I have flown several approaches using the stick only for bank alignment and the throttle for altitude control. I used the same Proportional Integral Derivative (PDI) algorithm with one exception. A PID algorithm zeroes the error, but since the output was trim and I did not want zero trim, I added an offset to the final output equivalent to 4.1 degrees nose up trim, which is what my A-7 needs when "on-speed" with 10.5 degrees AOA.

The desired AOA HOLD VAR is then input as an initialization routine that happens only once. The next bunch of code creates readouts on the test display which you can see on the right of the jpg attached. A Mouse section at the end initiates the procedure and allows adjustment below or above the initial 10.5 desired AOA, just for test purposes. The "Disengage all modes" section is simply there to give a panic disengage using the parking brake. Then you come to the meat of the code. First, the PID constants are loaded. The Proportional section compares AOA with the Set value and the result is output as the first PID output. The Integral section derives the second PID output and zeros the integral unless the Set error is 2 or less. This is done to limit the bounds for integral calculation. The Derivative section is then calculated. It is a measure of the rate of change of the solution and is the third PID output. The "Last error section" updates the derivative for use on the next pass through the algorithm. Loop gain is applied and limited in the next section to avoid windup. Finally, There is a test on whether the routine is activated and has valid conditions. If that test passes the trim position is set according to the PID output and an offset. K:AXIS_ELEV_TRIM_SET will be a number between -16383 and +16383 where 16383 represents the full range of trim specified in degrees in the config file. I made this 16.38 degrees for mathematical convenience and the 4100 offset puts the desired trim at 4.1 degrees nose up with reference to a zero PID result. The PID constants have not been optimized because I was concerned with proof of principle. Also the strength of trim effect is a coefficient in the .air file (section 1101 Cm_dt Pitch Moment - Trim) which is -1 for my model and -2.2 for the FA-18. Your PID constants would most likelly be different than mine. The JPG shows (assuming I get it uploaded) short finals 100 feet AGL with 10.6 degreees AOA versus the 10.5 set value. I probably applied a bit of back pressure on the stick, but 0.1 degrees off is peanuts. The code works best if you start close to the desired AOA and speed. Very small power changes are required or you will overcontrol. However, it does work. It does control AOA accurately and the glide slope is maintained using throttle only. Sounds something like what you needed. Roy
Unfortunately, I am realizing that I am very must still in the noobie stage of XML coding. Although I can follow some things in your coding Roy, there is still much I am still trying to wrap my head around (especially when it comes to L Vars). So.... Can someone please help me design a simple "event counter" gauge to do the following: -Gauge is triggered, with gear down, flaps >30 degrees, and below 180 KIAS -The counter starts with the initial numerical value of 5.0 -If the Key Event "ELEV_TRIM_UP" is detected, it increases numerical value in 0.1 increments -If the Key Event "ELEV_TRIM_DN is detected, it decreases the numerical value in 0.1 decrements The visual indicator in the HUD and the XML coding that will use the value provided by the "event counter" is already in place and ready to go. Just need the counter. Thanks again.
Jimi What you are asking for is simple to code, but I'm not sure it will help much. Some comments. You mentioned that your FCS was controlling the approach, can you say more about what it does. You need to deliberately turn this code on with a switch action otherwise it could start as you get airborne. While somewhat of an overkill I also made sure it would not work on the ground. In any event, your counter after turn-on will just be a read out of the trim angle plus 5 degrees compared to what it was on turn on. How will that help you get to a specific AOA? Again, my point is that you can not directly set AOA. What you can do is use trim to maintain AOA provided that you use throttle to maintain the correct airspeed for that AOA. Ignoring automated methods like a PID control, you can achieve this by manually setting the correct trim once and then use throttle for speed/height control. Try this. With the F-18 in the desired landing configuration, fly level and adjust power until you are at the 8.2 degree AOA. Note the trim setting required to keep the pitch angle constant while maintaining level flight. That trim setting is what you need if you want to hold 8.2 degrees. If you reduce power slightly the nose will drop, if you increase power slightly it will move up. I'm purely talking manual flight and your FCS may affect that which is why I asked about it earlier. BTW, the PID code is NOT easy to understand, no need for apologies! Roy
Hi, You can easily trap both ELEV_TRIM_UP and DN events, bear in mind though it will work fine providing you stay in panel view. As long as you switch to external view the events won't be trapped by the gaugeset and you will need to deal with that in the standard (element set) part of the gauge that controls this operation. Tom
Tom, He can achieve the same result by noting the trim setting when the gauge is initiated and save that as a baseline. Then he just needs to compare the baseline with the current trim setting and add 5. Roy
Ah, Ok. Honestly I didn't make a close read to his code, just turned an amber light based on what he wanted to do using the events handler Tom
Roy, Ideally, the counter would only count and record pilot initiated elevator trim inputs and that would be what the FCS uses to bounces its trim information off of. Here is how i am thinking it should work? 1. Conditions are set for the counter to start. Something such as Gear Down, Below 180 KIAS, Flaps set >30 degrees, and maybe even a certain engine RPM %. 2. From there, the pilot will be able to use whatever keys/buttons, normally used to control the pitch trim, to dial in a selected AOA. This is where the counter comes in. By default, the counter will initially start at 5, meaning that the jet will initially start trimming the aircraft out for 5 degrees AOA. The pilot can adjust to 8.1 degrees if desired by tapping his button for elevator up trim. if he so desired to trim to a lower AOA, he would press the elevator down key. The counter is this there to record keep track of how many times the pilot presses the elevator trim up/down key, not what the actual aircraft elevator trim is doing. 3. Now, the numeric value contained in the counter is then used in the actual FCS system XML gauge that controls the aircraft's elevator trim, used to maintain a certain AOA. The code would like very similar to what I initially posted. I placed the phase "ELEVATOR TRIM COUNTER" in the code so that you can see where the counter comes in in the grand scheme of things (A:AIRSPEED TRUE,knots) 250 < (A:TRAILING EDGE FLAPS LEFT ANGLE,Degrees) 40 > && (A:GEAR CENTER POSITION,Percent) 30 > && if{ (L:ELEVATOR TRIM COUNTER, number) (A:INCIDENCE ALPHA,Degrees) / (>L:AOA Selector, number) } els{ } (L:AOA Selector, number) 1 > (A:GEAR CENTER POSITION,Percent) 30 > && (A:INCIDENCE ALPHA,Degrees) 22 < && (A:AIRSPEED TRUE,knots) 250 < && (A:SIM ON GROUND, bool) ! && (A:AUTOPILOT MASTER, bool) ! && if{ (>K:ELEV_TRIM_UP) } els{ } (L:AOA Selector, number) 1 < (A:GEAR CENTER POSITION,Percent) 30 > && (A:INCIDENCE ALPHA,Degrees) 22 < && (A:AIRSPEED TRUE,knots) 250 < && (A:SIM ON GROUND, bool) ! && (A:AUTOPILOT MASTER, bool) ! && if{ (>K:ELEV_TRIM_DN) } els{ } 4. So without the rest of the coding that actually controls the trim, the counter does nothing. It is just used so that the rest of the coding has a stable number to work with. As for just having the AOA just preset of 8.1, I've tried that in the past and have been successful with it, but after flying the "real deal" Marine Corps simulator this past weekend, I realized that the pilot actually is able to select the desired AOA he/she wants to maintain, 8.1 or otherwise. I also want to make the process, as easy and natural to the pilot as possible, where he/she does not have to bring up any other custom panels or or memorize any other keys/buttons to make adjustments. The pilot will use the same keys he has assigned for the elevator trim to make AOA selection adjustments as in the real F/A-18. So far, I have the following other FCS systems implemented in my project (Please keep in mind, all of the systems are per what was either found in NATOPS, reviewed by video, or answers provided by actual F/A-18 pilots) -Pitch Auto Trim: Trims the aircraft to 1 G flight while in up and away mode -Revised Auto Flap System: Per NATOPS flap operation graph, this new system actually uses 9 different flap settings instead of the 3 given by default. Autoflaps system is triggered when aircraft is in "up and away (UA)" mode. -G Limiter: Attempts to keep the aircraft under 7.5 Gs when aircraft is under 44,000lbs and under 5 Gs when aircraft is over 44,000 lbs. As in real life, the limiter can be saturated if fast, abrupt inputs are commenced at high speeds, but the limiter will correct in a timely manner -Roll Limiter: Restricts the roll rate to no more than 120 degrees a second. -Revised Auto Rudder System: initially coordinates turn with rudder trim based on Angle of Bank (AOB) if lateral control inputs are within 30 percent of center. Calculates rudder trim input based on stick deflection if control inputs exceed 30 percent of center. There are a few others, but those are the "big ticket" ones. This AOA Trim which will be used in "powered approach (PA)" mode is one of the last items on the list to implement.

This aircraft was an independent design by Bill Lear in 1976, who had resigned as Chairman of Lear Jet seven years previously. Originally dubbed the LearStar 600, Lear sold exclusive rights to produce and develop the design to Canadair, who renamed it the CL-600 Challenger.
While similar in general configuration to Lear's previous designs, notable changes were made that distinguished the new aircraft from the Learjets, including the use of a widened fuselage that allowed a 'walk-about cabin', a feature not shared by any other business aircraft of the time. The Challenger was also one of the first bizjets designed with a supercritical wing.
On 8 November 1978, the first prototype of the aircraft took off for the first time in Montreal, Canada. An 3 April 1980 test flight in the Mojave Desert resulted in disaster, the aircraft crashing due to a deep stall, killing one of the test pilots (the other parachuted to safety). The second and third prototypes flew in 1979.
Despite the crash, both Transport Canada and the Federal Aviation Administration in the United States certified the aircraft in 1980, albeit with both handing over some restrictions to pilots including a limited maximum take-off weight. A large program to reduce the aircraft's weight was then implemented to improve the aircraft's range.

Does the information age have a proletariat? You betcha sweet ass it does. If Marx is still remembered today, he is remembered as an economist, political theorist and philosopher. But his role as ethnographer of the British working class in the nineteenth century is often forgotten: the relevant and copius pages of capital are hardly referred to. But in the 1980s and 1990s, a different literate proletariat has emerged, with access to complex communication devices and the ability to write and disseminate the fine details of its own conditions of existence.

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
I am looking for a partner in crime, someone to share my life with.

bad. It is important that someone is with me because they want to
be. I feel as though I am a very honest, outgoing and generous
person and I am lookjng for the same in my man. I deserve to be
treated as I treat others and I will not settle for less.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Working hard to make a great life for me and my kids.

Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Everything I do !!! I love to Cook and bake and like to think I am
very good at it.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
My eyes and my smile
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
I wish I had more time to read I love to do so but usually does not
happen too much these days.
I really love all kinds of music ...80's big hair bands are great... and to be honest I could do without country.
There is nothing like a great movie, depends on my mood but love mob movies and tear jerkers too.
I am on a Vietnamese food kick, found a great local spot and keep going back.

Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
My children, my family,my friends, love, happiness and shopping!!!
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
My future and how great it will be ;)
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
There really is no typical Friday...usually meeting up with friends
and unwinding after a long week at work.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I am petrified of clowns
You should message me if

Open Sesame Salad
This salad has been adapted from an old favorite of mine, the "Sesame Orzo Salad" from the Frog Commissary Cookbook. The recipe for the dressing is pretty true to the original but the salad ingredients are obviously very pasta free! This recipe is so adaptable. You can serve it over a bed of greens as I've done here or wrap the salad up in a romaine or collard leaf. Even stuff it in a tomato. The dressing is great anytime!
*For The Salad
2 large parsnips
( or one half head cauliflower)
3/4 cup shredded carrots
one bunch scallions
one small bunch cilantro
1/4 cup raisins
bunch of baby spinach and watercress
*For The Dressing
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 cup rice or cider vinegar
1 teaspoon shoyu
1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind
2 tablespoon scallions chopped
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1-2 clove minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
pepper and crushed red pepper to taste
1 packet stevia or sweetener of choice to taste
Chop/shred parsnips/cauliflower and carrots in food processor
Chop scallions
Finely chop cilantro
Toss all with remaining raisins in bowl
Wisk all dressing ingredients together or alternately blend them for a different consistency. ( I like both)
Store in cruet/bottle
Mix about 1/4 dressing with the salad blend and reserve the rest of the dressing to pour over greens or for another use.
Serve salad over bed of spinach and watercress add more
dressing as desired.
2 reponses to "Open Sesame Salad"
Parsnips chopped like rice in a food processor and then marinated in some ginger, shoyu, rice vinegar and sweetener make a great filler for nori wraps too! YUM ;-)
Hey- this sounds really great. I also have some parsnips in the fridge I didn't know what to do with!

Richard Genée
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Franz Friedrich Richard Genée (February 7, 1823 – June 15, 1895) was a Prussian born Austrian librettist, playwright, and composer.
Genée was born in Danzig. One of his best-known works was the libretto of Karl Millöcker's operetta Der Bettelstudent, which he co-wrote with Friedrich Zell (the pseudonym of Camillo Walzel). In 1857 he was conductor of the philharmonic orchestra In Mainz.
In 1876, Genée composed the operetta Der Seekadette. The operetta featured a game of chess in its second act and later lent its name to the chess opening trap found in the match the Seekadettenmatt (German for naval cadet mate). The move is usually known in English as the Légal Trap. He died at Baden bei Wien.

1.41-acre estate expected to solve land crunch
The small-scale industries sector in the city, beleaguered by the lack of land, is being offered a bit of breathing space in the form of an industrial development area, which will comprise a multi-storey industrial estate with necessary facilities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
The industrial estate, to come up on a 1.41-acre plot at Kochuveli, not far from the existing industrial belt there, will have a built-up area of 40,000 sq ft, and is expected to accommodate at least 50 small-scale units. To operate under the aegis of the District Industries Centre (DIC), construction of the estate by the Small Industries Development Corporation (SIDCO) will begin shortly.
"We are expecting the work to be over in 18 months, after which entrepreneurs can take the space according to their requirement on long-lease basis. Infrastructure, including material handling facilities (industrial lifts etc.) and dedicated power supply, will be offered," R. Ramesh Chandran, Joint Director, Industries and Commerce, and General Manager, DIC, told The Hindu.
Central grant
The Centrally sponsored project, which has already been sanctioned a onetime additional Central assistance of Rs.10 crore, was thought of primarily because of the shortage of land for small-scale industries in the State capital. The estate, Mr. Chandran said, would be ideal for entrepreneurs dealing in IT and IT-enabled services, garments and textiles, food processing, and value-added products and light engineering setups.
The happenings in the SME sector in Thiruvananthapuram in the 2012-13 financial year were another major inspiration for the project. The year saw 2,874 entrepreneurs taking Part 1 registration, which is the expression of interest to the DIC to set up an entrepreneurial unit. This was the highest in the State, while the year saw 1,483 units taking the next step and actually setting up shop. This, according to Mr. Chandran, was the second highest in the State.
Food processing and value-added food product manufacturing units comprised most of the units, while readymade garments and textiles were next. IT and ITES, furniture, and chemical products (mostly soap) manufacturing units along with fabrication and other light engineering set-ups too figured among the 1,483 units.
"We saw investments worth Rs.188 crore in the SME sector in Thiruvananthapuram in 2012-13, while the number of job opportunities created was 9,372. To encourage SMEs, the DIC arranged investment subsidies worth Rs.1.13 crore for 60 ventures. As per the Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP), a margin money grant of Rs.101.51 lakh was given to 90 entrepreneurs," he added.

Here's one that you're bound to hear every year come tournament time: It's really hard to beat a team three times in a season. Top-ranked Bismarck enters today's Class A girls basketball state tournament semifinal against Minot High owning a 2-0 record versus the Majettes. The third meeting, scheduled for 1 p.m. at the Minot State Dome, could be a doozy. In their last showdown, on Feb. 6, Minot (15-8) erased nearly all of a 16-point, second-half deficit. The Majettes, trailing by one in the final minute, had a chance to take the lead with a bucket, then had an opportunity in the closing seconds to tie it with a 3-pointer. Neither shot attempt threatened to score, and Bismarck (21-2) held on for a 71-66 victory at Magic City Campus. The first time around, Minot held an eight-point lead in the early stages of the second half before the Demons breezed to a 77-63 victory in their season opener. The Majettes were outscored 22-2 in points off turnovers in that contest. On Thursday, Bismarck pulled away from Valley City in a 60-50 state quarterfinal win and Minot upset No. 2 West Fargo 62-59, which improved its record in games decided by five points or less to 1-4. The Majettes are in the state semifinals for the first time since 2001, when they placed second.

Snow is cold and head teachers should run the treasury
Things I've learned from my children
The coldness of snow never ceases to surprise. Shortly after this picture was taken, Boy Two complained he was cold and wet. No?
School fayres are economic genius. I just paid £2 for my own wooden spoon which has painted brown and disguised as a reindeer.
You can take good manners too far. Boy Three has learned "bye" which he says to every scrap of food before he dispatches it off his high chair tray.
Miracles can happen. Housework half hour is catching on. Tonight Boys One, Two and I tidied up, put away laundry, hoovered the stairs, cleaned two bathrooms and watered the plants. Result. Boy One even allowed the half-hour to overrun as he was so into getting the taps shiny.

Well done on the housework half-hour. Those boys will be an asset to their partners (and a credit to their mum) in later life.
And I'm giggling at the cold and wet one. Maybe you could find him some lovely warm, dry snow xxx

Joni Mitchell (Reprise)
Fans accustomed to Joni's soaring soprano and the spare acoustic settings of her folk-rock albums are in for a shock. Here her voice has dropped an octave or so, and she sings 10 tunes from an earlier pop era (as well as two originals) as torch songs, in a husky, smoke-cured alto. With phrasing that evokes a latter-day Billie Holiday, Mitchell covers such Lady Day numbers as "You're My Thrill" and "You've Changed," a desolate love-gone-dry song made sweet by accompanist Wayne Shorter's tender saxophone. In places, however, the melodramatic, string-heavy orchestrations featured on tracks like "Stormy Weather" make the songwriter, long known for her sly deconstructions of pre-rock pop styles, sound more like the kind of ermine-and-pearls lounge crooners her parents might have swooned for. While just such an overripe arrangement makes a new version of her own 1971 impressionistic barroom blues "A Case of You" (from Blue) sound sentimental, the album highlight is a richly textured reinvention of the title tune, one of Mitchell's classic compositions. A pop hit for Judy Collins in 1968, the song is rendered here as a melancholy, middle-aged woman's rumination on the mysteries of love.

'A Midwife going to a labour', 1811.
Image number: 10405441
Hand coloured etching by Thomas Rowlandson (1756-1827) published by T Tegg, London. It is headed 'Teggs Caricatures, No 55', and shows the midwife as a blowsy, obese, aged woman, who has been called out on a squally night, her hooded red cloak battling with heavy wind and rain. She wears pattens (shoeblocks to protect against mud on the cobbles) and a blue-ribboned straw hat over a white cap. She carries a lighted lantern, a bundle and a drink bottle. To the left is a watchman asleep in his box, with another lantern on a pole. To the right is a chimney sweep with tools and bag.
